Woodburne Potter's classic account of the early months of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), now with an Introduction, Endnotes, and Index by noted historians John & Mary Lou Missall. For those who wish to study first-hand accounts of the Second Seminole War, one of the most useful resources is Potter's The War in Florida. Although Potter was only in Florida for a few months, he was present at a time when much of the action took place and was able to speak to many of the participants. Potter was also a keen observer and interested in mare than battles. His views on the causes of the war show us a man who was unwilling to accept the party line and not above placing blame where he felt it best belonged. His descriptions of major Seminole leaders such as Osceola are also invaluable. Long available only in facsimile editions, this new edition features enhancements that many readers will find useful. An Introduction puts the text into historical context, Endnotes give historical insight into people and events, and the Index allows readers to look up many of the people mentioned in the text. By maintaining the same pagination as the original, the editors have made the book useful for those who wish to look up references in books by other historians. This edition also includes Potter's detailed maps of the Dade Battlefield and Camp Izard, along with a map of military operations in Florida. The War in Florida is published by the Seminole Wars Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit institution dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of information related to America's longest and costliest Indian war.
